Please join us for the 2018 Constant Reader Awards, our fifth edition of the event to rank and determine Stephen King's best book, starting January 16:http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?21314-The-2018-Constant-Reader-Awards-begin-January-16!

I find Photobucket much easier to use. simple to get a fully tagged image link and I can also manage to post from my iPhone.

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

I have an account, and it keeps asking me to upgrade to a paid version before I can upload.

I avoid imageshack as much as possible.
Why not posting your pictures somewhere else, and hotlinking them from here? ie : flickr, facebook... etc. Then you just have to get its url and use the "picture integration" icon

Since I couldn't post in the Rare Illustration thread, here it goes: I've apologized to Jerome and believe it or not, I had him mixed up with someone else. And I didn't intend to be a "dick", I simply defended myself towards some who felt that they should insult my language and my mother. But this "He must be new, he's only looking for trouble" nonsense simply doesn't work. I've contributed a lot to this place, and have provided King pieces and references and what have you. I've had issues with passwords so I created a new profile. As I've been away for some months, I simply couldn't remember the password. I first registered here in 2008 and yes, I've had more than one profile before, also because I'm a fool of remembering passwords. And yes, I admit I could have responded differently to the admin's comment..and I might have messed up with my comment about the Illustration list. I wasn't expecting someone to do the work for me. I would gladly have provided one, if needed, but it was incomplete. That's why I felt it needed to be updated. Not because I expected someone else to do it. This little war began because I felt the admin's comment was unneccesary (but I could have been wrong), and because I was shocked he didn't even get the facts straight...that I wasn't exactly new to this site. But, hey, no one's perfect. I should have responded to him in a lighter way, I know that. Too late for that now. Sorry for posting here, but felt I wanted to be more clear on all this. I can live with being regarded as a "troll" but I know that isn't the case, and based on some of the responses I've received from some people here, I'm not the only "troll." I really mixed Jerome up with someone else, and I saw red. But it's good that you support your admin because he IS a good admin, and yes, undoubtedly a nice guy. He didn't deserve my harsh words on him and I didn't deserve having random people thrashing my language and my mother. I felt backstabbed. It especially hurt when it comes from people I've corresponded with in the past (John Hanic - and John, sorry for my personal rage, but I was hurt). So, really, no more new profiles from me, that's a promise. It was all just a very bad...I don't know what it was. Take care, it really has been great and I wish you all the best. Best, Peter.

Nice to see you back here.
Maybe you could ask Randall Flagg to give you a new password to your previous account? Would make it simpler than just wondering who is this new guy, whom, in the end is not new

I broke my own promise, sorry about that. Hm, Jerome, I hope I didn't write to the wrong Jerome with my rather long apologies, but then again, I'm sure it is you since I can see we share some of the same friends who are also here. It's probably in the Other section of your e-mails. But I hope you can ignore the first e-mail which was...hm...pretty angry. The apology is definitely sincere. We've never had any problems before, so it's a darn shame it happened. As I wrote in my previous ramblings, I should have been more clear about my intentions with that Illustrators list and perhaps have suggested that I found a way to contribute with my personal list of illustrators - either by providing the entire list here in a thread or write the names in each Short Fiction section. If you want, as perhaps as I kind of token, I can still do that, but it's up to you. More importantly, I really should have thought twice about my first response/reaction here to you. That undoubtedly made me appear as a kind of person of which I'm not. And herbertwest and JohnHanic, it's very kind of you, but I don't think I would feel so comfortable being a full member here after all this, but I'll still check it out from time to time...it's too addictve not to.

I've found that it's best to take a deep breath, count to 100, then, if you still feel angry, put your feelings into a document for later use.

You really fucked up, but then so have I. I suppose we all are entitled to a second chance so carry on, my friend.
